2011 was a bit of a non starter for me in terms of photography, but I did manage to spend a few evenings and weekends around London trying to do some architectural work. Unfortunately, I got stopped at every corner by jumped up security guards, to the point where one threatened to detain me, to which I politely laughed in his face and made my exit.

 

All of this dampened my spirits somewhat, so I decided take some action. I booked last Friday and Monday off work to give myself a long weekend of photography and ventured out to a few new spots that I'd never been to before to try and get my mojo back... these included: Walton On The Naze, Dovercourt and then Deal.

 

The above shot was taken in Deal and funnily enough I was having quite a hard day of it. It took me nearly 4 hours to get there by train due to late runnings and cancellations, having left home at 6am. When I did finally arrive, the tide was coming in fast and was very powerful and although I don't mind wading in, it was just shaking my tripod too much... plus the cloud coverage just wasn't working in my favour. On so many occasions I nearly called it a day and headed home, but I decided to stick it out.

 

Then just as the sun (that I couldn't see) was setting and the tide was going out, a break in the clouds came and I got a few exposures of the pier with some nice cloud movement which got my creative juices going, so I thought I'd head under the pier to try my hand and some earlier failed attempts and emerged with this.

 

This shot would you believe was taken about an hour after the sun had set and there were no filters involved. This has to go down as the most fun I've had taking a shot. It was a 160 second exposure and as I was taking it, there were cars passing behind me and were actually lighting up the legs and underside of the pier, so in effect there was a bit of light painting going on in this. And, those streaks of white that you can see in the water is the reflections from the lights at the far end of the pier... I enjoyed every one of those 160 seconds...

 

Anyways, I've rambled on for long enough now... I hope you enjoy this as much as I did taking it.

Hiker in la carança - pyrénées-orientales - France

The mist rolls over the sea and reaches the coast of Fårö. A lonely pine tree clings to the ground and struggles to set root. The ground is hard but the air is soft as silk. I feel the smell of the ocean when I slowly compose my image and press the shutter. Just in that split moment i realize that i have etarnalized a Life.

//Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.// (Romans 5:3-5)

This collapsing old farmhouse in Edwards, Ontario, still stands but barely. I was surprised to see it still up after having photographed it several years ago, in much the same condition.

The reality is that for some every day is a struggle

This is one of my favorites from our annual trip out to Beavers Bend State Park. The water level was much higher than in recent years.

Storbist facts: One flash with 2 blue gels for the backround (1/32 power), another flash with snoot on light stand 1,5 meter over the doll(1/128 power). Both flash triggered by Cactus V.4 triggers.Some flare texture for the backround.

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.

The Perseverance Trail, which starts where today’s Basin Road ends, continues along the original route, which includes a cragged section called The Horn where there’s a steep drop-off down to the creek.

At the end of it is where Perseverance Trail begins, and this former rail line (named for the mine it once serviced) quickly climbs up above the Gold Creek valley. There’s plenty to see along the way, including old mine shafts that blow cool winds, and a stretch of trail where the mountain drops steeply away to Gold Creek.

I think it’s best viewed on black

Here the tower has been reworked. The buttresses are thinkened, and additional openwork has been added at the top. Looking at photo resources showed that the peaks over gothic arches tend to get darker over time (probably from soot) and so they have been repainted.
